Every Led Zeppelin Album Ranked From Worst To Best In Celebration Of ‘Celebration Day’
Is Led Zeppelin the greatest rock band of all time? People will argue for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, maybe even Pink Floyd, but Led Zeppelin is definitely in the conversation. The group’s sheer musical power and popularity has allowed them to endure to this day. Literally, being that the band is back in the news again with the release of their newest concert film/record, Celebration Day, today.
Celebration Day captures a live concert the group played on December 10, 2007. It was the closest group has come to a full reunion with the three surviving members — Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones — and the son of deceased drummer John Bonham playing a set full of classic Led Zeppelin material.
In celebration of Celebration Day, we’ve decided to give you a ranking of all nine Led Zeppelin studio albums (including Coda, for what it’s worth) from worst to best. Enjoy. Or don’t and then complain in the comments…

A pretty fair ranking overall, but no way the first album should be behind the third. If you'd switched those two, you'd have it just about right.
I'm definitely in the minority when it comes to pushing the first record toward the bottom of my list. Maybe I don't give it a fair shake because I can never get past "You Shook Me."
I agree that the production wasn't stellar (certainly other recording from that era were far superior), and a couple of the songs smack of being pure filler material, but it's hard to argue with Jimmy Page's commanding guitar sound on "Good Times Bad Times" and "Communication Breakdown", or Robert Plant's pleading vocals on "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" (Just skip "You Shook Me" next time, along with "Your Time Is Gonna Come")
Reblogged this on brickbackground and commented:
Let the arguments begin! I’ve got Zep 3 at No.1 but hey, whatever floats your boat. I just can’t imagine anyone arguing Coda as their worst, that’s for sure
I know you can't really judge an album by what it doesn't have, but part of the problem with Coda is how many great rarities were left off it. If they had stuck "Traveling Riverside Blues" and "Hey Hey What Can I Do" on it on initial release, it would gain some points.
Absolutely. Hey Hey is hands down my favorite Zep song and it still baffles me to this day that it never made it onto a proper release. Speaks volumes, though, as mentioned in the article, to the greatness of Zep that songs of that magnitude can be considered throwaways.
